Transition Towns are groups of neighbors intent on building strong, healthy, sustainable communities using renewable, non-polluting resources. By accessing the wisdom, talents and strengths of our neighbors, we seek to inspire, support, connect, train and empower one another, to produce local food, clean energy, goods and services to make our community resilient and energy efficient.
